Anyone interested in joining us, Munch and I, for this event on the 31st (this wed)
I am already meeting one of the SAHD's from our NCT friends with his DD but could get free entry for 3 other parents and their kids using my family ticket.
It is from 12-3pm and you need to bring a child, a picnic, oh and a teddy bear

Their site lists it in events

I'll can give a lift to 3 people/carseats if that helps.

Fabulous, she looks as if she's enjoying them!

Yep, dd let me in - I was so stern with her that she realised not to do so would be a big mistake! Although I did feel a bit of a pilchard talking to her through the letter box ... you have all this joy to come

HuggyBear · 30/08/2005 11:57

Thanks for a lovely day. We really enjoyed it, managed to miss the rain (just).
Had a nightmare journey home, which ended with DS1 throwing up on the bus

Carlk - Nice to see you and DD again.

Huggybear - See it wasn't that bad, was it? and you didn't end up saying something stupid!

nutcracker · 31/08/2005 19:15

Oh no missed this

ah well, nevermind, maybe next time.

whimsy · 31/08/2005 19:21

Oh nutty I only found out yesterday, sorry

nutcracker · 31/08/2005 19:23

No it's ok honestly.

I didn't even know they did kids stuff there, will have to check in future.
